St Martin of Tours School

What St Martin of Tours School does

St. Martin of Tours School is a private, non-profit Catholic elementary school serving Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade in the Rose Garden neighborhood of San Jose, California. Founded in 1955 and operated under the Diocese of San Jose Catholic Schools, the school educates approximately 330 students daily with an 18:1 teacher-student ratio in TK-5th grade and an average teacher tenure of 11.5 years. Core academic programs span TK-K, primary grades 1-4, and middle school grades 5-8, supplemented by a Learning Lab staffed with three full-time credentialed teachers supporting 34 students with documented accommodations and by co-curricular offerings in art, music, Spanish, science, and PE.

The school's operating model is built on an all-inclusive annual tuition structure (specific amounts undisclosed) with rolling admissions and a goal to remove enrollment barriers; 20% of families receive tuition assistance averaging $7,000 per award. Revenue is diversified across tuition, unrestricted donations, the SCRIP RaiseRight gift-card rebate program, IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions, securities donations, corporate matching gifts, and event-based fundraising (Rose Garden Homes Tour in its 29th year, StM Auction, Bengal Classic). Donations are processed through GiveButter and admissions through TADS, with self-serve school tours scheduled via Calendly — all layered atop a Wix-based marketing website. Distribution is direct, single-geography (San Jose/Bay Area) with no geographic expansion indicated.

Distinctive positioning rests on inclusive education ("Catholic means universal"), deep multi-generational community ties (55 current second-generation students), 100% Catholic high school placement, and a curriculum enriched by outdoor education partnerships with NatureBridge for annual Yosemite and Marine Headlands trips. The strategic narrative emphasizes long-tenured faculty, adaptive human instruction, and faith-based values formation over technology-driven learning, with no disclosed AI/ML, mobile app, or proprietary technology platform.
